Miss Jannette Buelow, town of York, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Buelow, and Everett Gehrt, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gehrt of the town of Pine Valley, were quietly married on Wednesday, Nov. 18th, at 9 p.m. at the home of the bride’s parents in the town of York by the Reverend M. Taylor of the York Center Methodist Church.

The bride was attired in a beige colored street length dress. She wore a heart shaped locket, a gift from the groom, and carried a bouquet of white chrysanthemums with ribbon showers.

She was attended by Mrs. Lawrence Kolbrack, a cousin, who acted as bridesmaid. Mrs. Kolbrack was attired in rose colored street-length dress and carried a bouquet of pink carnations. The groom was attended by Clarence Braatz, a close friend, as best man. Both men wore dark suits with a pink carnation in their lapels.

A wedding supper following the ceremony was served in the dining room to Reverend Taylor and the close relatives, namely: The grooms parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gehrt, and two brothers, Harland and Walter, and the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Buelow and sister, Miss Dorothy. The room was decorated with pink and white streamers.

The bride is a graduate of the Neillsville High School, having graduated with the class of 1941. Since then she has assisted her parents on the farm.
